4 <br /> Legal ads advertising the date, time, location, and purpose of the BOCC public hearing <br /> were run in the News of Orange and the Durham Herald Sun on August 21, 2019 and <br /> again on August 28, 2019. <br /> Refer to Attachment 6 regarding certifications. <br /> Courtesy Review: This request was submitted to the City of Mebane, which theoretically could <br /> serve the property with utility and urban services and accept a voluntary annexation petition by the <br /> owner, on July 15, 2019 as part of the courtesy review program. The City has issued no <br /> comments regarding the request other than it could theoretically be served by their public utility <br /> services. <br /> Planning Director's Recommendation: As required under Section 2.8.5 of the Unified <br /> Development Ordinance (UDO) the Planning Director shall: `... cause an analysis to be made of <br /> the application and, based upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for consideration'. <br /> The Director has determined the proposed atlas amendment addresses potential non-conformities <br /> associated with the current split zoning of the property and that the requested GC-4 zoning <br /> designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan, <br /> consistent with property's location within the CITAN.
